Kaypro PC?

If it has the V20 then it was originally an 8088, if it has a V30 then it was an 8086. Anyway it's basically an XT clone with separated processor board and planar, as opposed to the normal XT types that had all on one mainboard. I've worked many of these in years gone by and there's nothing out of the ordinary on them, just use as you would any other XT clone. I too seem to remember the pushbooton on back being a reset on that machine. AFAIR the Kaypro site is long gone, I could swear Kaypro went under many moons ago. Matter of fact Premio bought the name in '99 and killed it off again this year - see the PCWORLD page at http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,50725,00.asp -----Original Message----- From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Robert Schaefer Sent: Tuesday, January 01, 2002 9:52 AM To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org Subject: Kaypro PC? I'm looking for info on one of these. I's some kind of XT clone, with an eight-bit passive backplane and an upgraded V20 on a CPU card. It runs MSDOS, and currently boots into dosshell. A little googling turns up numerous resumes containing Kaypro PC, and a number of old classiccmp posts regarding them, but no real info. kaypro.com seems to be down ATM. I'd especially like to know what the switch and pushbutton on the back of the CPU card do. IIRC it's not a reset button, but I might be mis-remembering. Bob
